Roger Stone says that when he told radio host Randy Credico to "prepare to die cock sucker,” he wasn't threatening Credico, but simply offering words of support after Credico's cancer diagnosis https://t.co/Lq09U7iTXb

I can’t for the life of me understand what made Stone think that nazi shit was a good plan. I don’t get this at all. Most of the time, the guys who are tight with Republican officeholders try to at least fake not being nazis or klansmen. This just flat befuddles me.

Why is General Kelly immune from criticism? He is as bad as Trump, if not worse. He uses his army credentials as a shield. He even used his army experience when he was firing Amorosa. How absurd it is that he was talking about conduct that would get you court marshaled when he is working for Trump. I just can’t with him.

The press desperately, even fanatically, wants to believe the Republican Party is legitimate and based on things like tough love, not racism. Finding someone to label as the strong daddy figure who’s really in charge helps them feel like Trump is an anomaly.

They own the WiFi router, they don’t own the cell tower.
You’d think that as an amazon supporter they’d be cool with BJ. Maybe they don’t like political sites on in their store. Makes for happier customers i’d imagine.

@HumboldtBlue: One of the all-time rock and roll greats. Altho’ for me, “Quadrophenia” is the ultimate Who album. I think I listened to that one every day, senior year in high school, for six months straight. It’s burned into my synapses.

@Omnes Omnibus:
Thanks, I try to forget that some of these slugs had semi to normal lives at one time or another, and gave it all up for the thrill of being in the presence of a true racist and major asshole. In Kelly the situation is that he probably finally gets to act that major fucking asshole that the Marines somewhat frowned upon him being. All those years of repressed assholery must have finally gotten to him.

I may be overly suspicious, but it seems odd that the Whole Foods free wi-fi blocks Balloon-Juice, but I can get to it via cellular data.

Balloon Juice is… quirky. When the Boston-area Giant Router went down a couple weeks ago, I could access all of my usual reads, including Twitter, except for this here site… but I could still read Balloon Juice on my phone.

Sweet Jesus wanting to own a motor scooter but stuck with a third-generation Huffy three-speed in desperate want of repair, I tried my best to get Quadrophenia. I listened to that album over and over but I never caught it because I already had so much theater drama. I wanted Daltry screaming “YEAH” as Bonham smashed on the drums and Townshend ripped off another chord.

Also, Credico thinks he’s smart, he isn’t. What he doesn’t understand is that Special Counsel Mueller’s team have all of Assange’s communications – email, phone, text, Twitter DM, you name it. All from SIGINT collection. And they have everything, not just numbers called to/called from or email addresses sent to/received from, they have the audio of the calls, they have the text of the emails, texts, tweets, Twitter DMs, etc. Given who Assange is, and the what the Special Counsel is tasked with investigating, he has a long list of Americans, not to mention Russians, Emiratis, Saudis, Israelis, and Brits like Farage. In the case of the Americans, he’s used this list to get the Americans unmasked so he knows who was saying what to Assange or other foreigners, when, and why. His counterintelligence task force has checked these against these intercepts and whenever a name that is significant comes up, they pull all the communications captured and go through them. In short: Mueller knows everything these people have been saying to each other. He doesn’t care what they claim on TV or to print journalists or tweet out or say on radio shows. He’s got everything. And these schmucks, acting too cute by half, are going to be very, very, very, very unpleasantly surprised when he decides it is time to move.

@Major Major Major Major: I think it’s really just that Republicans have succeeded in brainwashing their base so much that Trump’s floor is pretty much in the 37-44 range. It can’t get any lower than that, and the range itself is large dependent on whether Trump has said something personally reprehensible enough in the last week or so.

This is why I’m basically coming around to the “Republican Voters aren’t decent people at all” argument. If you’re supporting Trump (or even hemming and hawwing) you’re already a lost cause at this point.

@Frankensteinbeck:
They went all in.to declare Kelly as the adult in the room. They are clutching to that like an addict with the last of their stash.
That’s another reason for the blowback against Omarosa-she shows that Kelly ain’t shyt 😠😠

Thanks for, at least in the context of our weird weird world today, an informative post. I skipped through the MSNBC clip to the place where I could see that Roger Stone really did threaten a dog, it is Credico’s dog, and it is very cute dog. For shame Roger Stone.

I thought this Credico guy and Stone were big buddies or allied political operatives in dirty tricks or something. But they aren’t, or the had a falling out? I can’t keep track of all these characters. After a few books come out, I hope there’s a Cliff Notes version.

They are clutching to that like an addict with the last of their stash.

Exactly!
One of the truest things ever said in politics. They really do sound like addicts for racism. They will do anything to get that fix. And they are obviously running low, which is exactly when an addict wants that perfect hit, that hit that really wasn’t enough but it’s all that they have, it all they can find and it’s all they can fix for that last shot. And they know it.

Republican Voters are living in a low information/alternate reality bubble fed by Faux News. Remember how many were saying “hands off our ACA” completely unaware it was the hated “Obamacare”?

There a big train of event’s that’s gonna brutally pop that bubble for some of them.

Keep in mind, only 24.3% of eligible voters, voted for the Mango Hied Shitgibbon. Like Nazi’s, they are loud on the intertubes and in the MSM’s head, where they are living rent free, but in reality, there ain’t that many of them.

And, is that new. I thought he was kicked off of Twitter companies, or was it just off of the twitter specifically?

There a big train of event’s that’s gonna brutally pop that bubble for some of them.

And some of them will cling to that bubble no matter what. People who’s very livelihoods are directly affected by the dumpster fire STILL support him. The woman at the link stands to lose the farm, literally and figuratively, and still she supports him. That’s not a citizen, or a voter, that’s a cultist. And a cultist will willingly, happily, go right to the edge and over, and take every single one of us over too.

Bursting bubbles or no, how the hell can a society protect itself from such intent? It’s like a suicidal death-wish.

With 83% in, the dems turnout for WI gov is about 90K more than the thugs. The dem voters are split between the winner and others (who garnered more votes than the winner). Hopefully they will all come together in Nov instead of sulking.

50-50 there’s an indictment for conspiracy prior to the midterms. If there is, a very good chance that Stone is in the first tranche of conspiracy indictments. If there’s a second tranche, I’d expect Kushner, DJTJ and maybe Erik Prince and Jeff Sessions to be in that batch, with the Trump reports following shortly thereafter. Perhaps that’s wishful thinking, but if a conspiracy really happened and is successfully uncovered, I think that’s a logical way for it to play out from a prosecution perspective.

@Platonailedit: Democratic primaries seem to be awfully crowded these days and it’s producing a lot of winners by plurality instead of majority, which I don’t think is a good thing. I was happy for this reason to see Whitmer win with roughly 52% of the vote last week.

@sus: I am right. This is how SIGINT driven counterintelligence work. What the Special Counsel and his prosecutors have to do, however, is figure out what they have, how it all fits together, and what they want to charge these folks with. Some of them, no matter how deserving of being on the receiving end of justice, will not be charged. This happens in every counterintelligence investigation because they’re either not considered important enough or there’s no way to charge and then try them without giving up sources and methods. But anyone who doesn’t think that Special Counsel Mueller and his team don’t know everything is deluding themselves. Especially as many of these chuckleheads spend a lot of their time screaming about how overly strong and overly intrusive the US’s, and the US’s allies’ and partners’, intelligence capacity is. GG comes to mind in this respect given who he’s in regular contact with.

At a news conference Tuesday, Sanders said Obama created 195,000 jobs for African Americans during his eight years in office.

“When President Obama left after eight years in office — eight years in office — he had only created 195,000 jobs for African Americans,” Sanders told reporters. “President Trump in his first year and a half has already tripled what President Obama did in eight years.”

Sanders’s statement was false. According to official statistics, black employment in the United States increased by nearly 3 million jobs from January 2009 through January 2017. From January 2017 through July of this year, black employment has increased by about 700,000 jobs.

But of course, it was grudging and graceless:

“Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t,” she said on Twitter. “I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump.”

I’m rehabbing an old shoulder injury in preparation for going back on crutches after my knee surgery on 8/31. I’ve worked up to 2 sets of 12 reps using light weights (5 lbs — stop laughing, you guys, I’m an out-of-shape middle-aged woman!). My shoulder and elbow are usually a little sore after I exercise. Am I better off increasing reps or increasing weight when I’m exercising a previously injured area?

@Adam L Silverman:
Not on my computer.
I laid out each step as I do it and I don’t have any issues. One may have to be extremely careful if you are trying to grab the text all the way to the bottom of an already posted comment to add to your comment to link. But I never have the reply button issue. Maybe it’s because I almost never use all the text, only a bit of it, as I did in comment #47.
@Platonailedit:
Maybe I automatically add a return when I’m using the last line in my comment as a link but I’ve never had the issue.
Possibly it’s my computer/browser/set up, but that shouldn’t affect how the link software works. But then this is WP. But I have a WP blog and I don’t have any issues there either. Of course there I’ve got full privileges, like Adam.

@Mnemosyne: I’ve had a lot of shoulder issues, both shoulders over the last fifteen or so years (I’m fifty), including a blown out rotator cuff requiring surgery. The PTs always recommended resistance bands before weights, and in most cases only the bands.

The reply button gets caught in the link if a line break is not there. I even raised this issue when Tommy did a rejig of the site coupla years back and asking him to create an additional line space between the post and the reply button. Nothing came off it.

Of course, this is a problem only if you insert the link (both nakid and rename) at the end of the post. Anywhere else, the line break is not needed.

Jack is proof that being smart at software engineering often leaves you vulnerable to believing really weird (and usually toxic) shit because you assume you’re too smart to fall for someone else’s lies.

@Platonailedit: I’m also not sure why some candidates don’t drop out sooner. 3 of the 7 candidates running in the Democratic primary for governor in MD got just 8%. 2 got even less than that. I have no idea what they thought they were achieving in sticking it out till the end.

@Mnemosyne: I don’t know what your shoulder injury was. I got AC joint decompressions in both shoulders (the scrape a bit off the underside of the outside end of the clavicle). So did a shit-ton of rehab. All I can say is: before you do -any- serious large-muscle shoulder exercise, do massive rotator cuff, scaption, and scapula … “crunches”. All with, of course, really low weight. I got those ops 8+ years ago, and when I lift upper-body, I spend easily an hour on that stuff, and an hour doing the rest of upper body.

All of that, before even -beginning- to work deltoids, lats, pecs, or arms. When I’m working back from a long time away from the gum (like, say, *tomorrow* if I get there, heh) I’ll start with 1-2lb weights for scaption and the lowest setting on the cable pull for rotator cuff. It’s shocking how much pain you can inflict, doing scaption with 2lb dumbbells. Just shocking.

The bubble will never pop for the Cultists, but there’s a bunch of self identified ReThugs who voted for Hair Twitler who now call themselves Independents. There was a Republican Party Chair in CNN’s Trump Voter Group who quit the Party, turned off Faux News, and calls the remaining Trumpista’s racists and morons.

Keep in mind that a MSM Cletus Safari to the Last Diner will have failed in it’s mission if it doesn’t find any firm holding Cletus’s

The Insane Clown POSus only got 24.3% of the eligible vote, he probably couldn’t get 17% now, and a lot of people who stayed home or wasted their votes, because “both sides”, don’t see it that way anymore.

The issue seems to be an old whiplash injury that weakened my shoulder, plus my carpal tunnel/tendonitis issues flared up because of the crutches pinching a nerve in my armpit. 😢 So it’s muscle and nerve trouble, not joint trouble, fortunately.

The free weights seem to be okay and there’s no unusual soreness. I’m just not sure which direction to increase.

@Major Major Major Major: In a sane country, his disapproval rating ought to be 80% not 58%. With each day and yet another Trump tweet, I become even angrier with those Americans who voted him into the Presidency. They may deserve this Presidency but the rest of us surely didn’t.

@Mnemosyne: I don’t think it’s b/c he thinks he’s too smart. That’s giving him too much credit. I think he does what he does, b/c he thinks he’s too rich, to pay the price little people would pay. So it’s all about winning and money. At some deep level, he’s moved beyond mundane questions of decency, morality, care for your fellow citizens (setting aside completely care for your fellow humans, or for our planet).

We read about how this happens to rich people often, yes? Being rich has a corroding effect on all the parts of our brain that connect us to other people in a humanizing way. B/c our every-two-minutes experience is people indulging our every whim, sometimes even before we voice it. It’s corroding.

@Mnemosyne: I would recommend increasing reps. Low weight, high reps. Basically every set to failure. What you want to do is fatigue the muscle completely on every exercise and every set. For instance, I did shoulders and neck today. And I’ve been doing this type of routine since December when I decided to take a break from high weight, low rep. Lifting like this is building endurance strength, as well as toning the muscles. Since I’ve switched over I’ve not lost any muscle mass, am not any weaker – I can still lift heavy/lift something heavy if I need to, but the composition of my muscle mass has changed. I can also honestly say I have never been more sore than when I lift like this, even when I was lifting as close to max as I could for the 3 sets per exercises. My shoulders and deltoids are screaming and have been since about 1/2 way through the front shoulder raises.

I saw The Who on August 12, 1971, in Cleveland. Epic show. They did most of the Who’s Next album. People were shouting out for songs from Tommy. Townshend got pissed and scolded them for not listening to the new stuff.

@Mnemosyne: Stretching is also important. If you don’t have a good set of stretches for your arms and shoulders look them up, talk to someone who knows, or maybe even hire a trainer for a session or two. Someone looking at how your arms and shoulders move may be able to help you because they can see things you can’t see.

I think it’s both– it’s very each for rich people to decide rhat they’re rich because they’re smarter than everyone else, not because they got lucky. The Koch brothers inherited their money from their corrupt father and yet are convinced that they earned every dime by the sweat of their brows.

And one of them got conned for millions by buying fake wines. Why? Because he thought he was too smart to be conned, because being rich automatically proved he was smarter than everyone else.

@Mnemosyne:
It’s a balancing act. Too many reps is not good, too much weight is not good. But in either case don’t do both, and add slowwwwwwly. IOW do not double either. Add a lb or a couple of reps. Too much work is really worse than not enough, especially if you are doing rehab and not building.
When I was doing shoulder rehab for my torn rotator (yea surgery) I got up to using 5 lbs. I stayed there and increased reps, slowwwwly, over time. For joints it’s mainly the movement, not the absolute weight. And as you may have gathered too much weight is often a cause of further injury.
So for joint work I actually recommend stretchy bands. I use very light to start off and the medium max. Of course that was when I had joints that didn’t resemble a small ball in a box car, that’s plenty of loose space for every thing to play in. As most anyone over 65 can tell you, age is hard on joints, especially if you’ve injured one or more of them. But don’t despair, I understand that happiness is only another operation away, or in my case 3 operations. Or is that 4?

@NotMax: Honestly walking the dogs was tough. About 91 degrees and north of 75% humidity. It’s likely taking a long walk in the sauna. But it’s been raining so much that when we get a dry day, I try to make sure I take the girls for a walk. Came back from the walk and spent 30 minutes rehydrating while the dogs cooled off before I headed to the gym.

@Mnemosyne: Swim slow gentle strokes. 30 to 45 minutes. About equal laps crawl, breast and back stroke. This has cured my shoulder tendonitis from too much whitewater fun several times since the 1980’s.

@Adam L Silverman:
Tiz a puzzlement.
I’ve been around this joint with 3 different desktops and 2 different operating systems and several updates on the Apple side over the last 6 yrs and it’s always worked for me. Shit this may be the only thing that works good for me. Damn. Good job BJ!

It’s a balancing act. Too many reps is not good, too much weight is not good. But in either case don’t do both, and add slowwwwwwly. IOW do not double either. Add a lb or a couple of reps. Too much work is really worse than not enough, especially if you are doing rehab and not building.

If you can only do four reps because it feels like your shoulder is on fire, you stop at four. That’s how I do it. On that first set of the first exercise, that 15th rep was the point where I felt I needed to stop. And that’s where I stopped. After a minute or so worth of rest and water the next set got me a couple of reps less before I had to stop. Work to failure means to the point where it feels you shouldn’t do another rep, not where you drop the weight because you can’t hold it anymore or even worse the muscle tears.

@Bill Arnold:
Those places may not want him. And he’s old. OK that fuck is 4 yrs younger than I am. Maybe he just seem old because he acts like is a stupid old fucking racist republican. And has been doing it for 40 yrs.

@Mnemosyne: You don’t have to do a ton of it, but do add some back in. I’ve also found foam rolling really helpful but it’s harder for upper body stuff. A lacrosse ball that you can roll around against your back or shoulder on a wall can help break up small muscles fibers in a way that stretching doesn’t reach. There are plenty of videos and articles online about how to use a lacrosse ball for that purpose.

@Adam L Silverman:
Also she’s doing rehab so I’d suggest not going to failure. Yes it takes longer to get there for sure but with shoulder injuries especially I’ve been told to take your time. But then I also come from the endurance side rather than a weight side of the issue. I owned a triathlon – bicycle shop and worked with a few trainers including a fellow who held a national Ironman record for a number of years and was training for an Ironman. Which of course my injuries and my massive natural athletic abilities laughed at. The idea of me, not the event.

@Mnemosyne: Can you get some PT sessions from your insurance? If so, um, that would be really valuable. The PT folks taught me everything I know about keeping my shoulders safe. And (of course) taught me that everything I’d been doing my whole life had been wrong, b/c dangerous to the joints.

One thing they taught me, is that underneath the large muscles controlling the shoulder joint, are smaller stabilizer muscles, and that it’s really important to strengthen them. Which means doing exercises that -purposefully- don’t work the large muscles. It’s complicated to do. So for instance, “scaption” that tries not to work the deltoid, and where you hold the trapezius clenched, so that it can’t move either. Or “crunches” for your scapula, to work the muscles that stabilize the scapula, but WITHOUT working the latissimus dorsi. It was unfamiliar and somewhat difficult to learn how to do at first.

I also second Kelly’s suggestion of swimming easy laps. But even for that, I’ve read posts suggesting these exercises in order to avoid “swimmer’s shoulder”. Basically, nobody does enough back/shoulder stabilizer exercises. Or at least, that’s why my surgeon and PTs told me.

P.S. All of this is done at low weight. I’ve never done scaption with 5lb weights. Maybe once with 4lb. But usually 2-3lb. Cuff with the lowest setting on the cable pull, and if there were a lower one, I’d choose that.

I’ve tried to get PT for it, but if it’s not a new injury, the insurance company doesn’t care. And the physical therapist refused to look at my shoulder without a doctor’s order even though the problem was aggravated by the crutches. 😒 I’ll probably end up having to pay out of pocket.

@Platonailedit:
They are trying to normalize their bullshit. Like any propaganda, if you say it often enough and sometimes loud enough, people will began to believe it. Those shitty broadcasting fake news bimbos have been doing this for a long time. They just keep repeating the same bullshit over and over and over and when that gets stale they either go back to another oldie or the start a new shovel full of bullshit. “Her emails!” is one of those. There is no truth to what they say but they just keep saying over and over and over until it becomes a shibboleth. And lies are easier for propaganda precisely because it’s a lie. You never have to prove it, just repeat it. All you have to do is say it often, loud and proud long enough and people will believe it. I do believe you could convince a reasonable percentage of any population that the sky is green, just by saying it enough.

@Mnemosyne: Uh, I’m a real chicken about joints, b/c at age 53, I know there’s no automatic remediation anymore. Whatever I break, I have for the rest of my life. So, uh, in your situation, I’d focus on -only- shoulder stabilization exercises with low weight and high reps, until such time as all irritation disappeared. Just as if you’d had surgery. I’ve … lapsed from working-out for up to a year, since those surgeries. When I start back, I’ll just do these shoulder/back stabilizer exercises for a few months. You wrote that you’re stuck in a chair right now? Maybe you might look into getting Thera-bands? They come in differing resistance, so you get a pack with multiple types. You can use those to do everything except the scapula “crunches” (and even those until you get stronger). And for the cuff, you might never want/need to “move up”.

If I were diligent, I’d do my shoulder exercises at home — I have a thera-band, and heck, there are books in the house that weigh 2lb.

@Adam L Silverman:
Try having those when age is staring you squarely in the face and slapping the shit out of you, just for the hell of it. If the alternative to getting old wasn’t even less fun and so, well, final, more people would try it earlier.

@Mnemosyne: You’re really smart to be preparing your shoulder ahead of time to lift your body weight. I think the specific muscle action and direction you need to develop + the crutch-armpit nerve thing + your previous injury are good reasons to consult a trainer specializing in injury or age, or better yet a PT. The reason is, you gotta avoid any risk of increased tendonitis or even shoulder tear (which can happen suddenly) before you even arrive at surgery day. Cause then you might really be in a pickle.

It should be quick for a PT to give the right exercises, because your need is so specific. Advice on avoiding the nerve-armpit thing would also be something a PT would be able to target–they probably help w/ that all the time. Like target a smaller secondary muscle or pattern that would help your armpit remain lifted off of the crutch instead of get fatigued.

The key to avoiding shoulder injury or tendonitis is sometimes balancing muscles on either side of the joint, so a PT would help release the side that is staying contracted and strengthen the side that’s too weak. Slow swimming like Kelly said does that too and especially the yoga someone mentioned.

What @Jim, Foolish Literalist: said about bands is really good. Adam’s advice about ‘fatigue the muscle completely on every exercise and every set,’ and being sore, and the exercises that he does, might be wrong for you. Tendonitis and excess tightness decrease one’s sensitivity to the right time to stop, and whiplash causes restrictions in the fascia, which can cause small tears in muscle fiber if you overwork. Tendonitis may get worse from that technique of stressing the muscle; my understanding is that the inflammation needs to go down first for it to heal. A PT can also loosen the old restrictions in the muscle (like Yarrow mentioned with the ball on the wall).

I see lots of others like Ruckus and Chetan Murthy made the same points ….

From the scene here in Charleston. WV (Near by at the fish shop, amyway) It appears that several years ago, as in decades, there was a Supreme Court decision that declared that the Legislature could no longer have any control over the Court’s budget, for reasons of judicial independence. This was good at first as it kept a tight Legislature from strangling valuable and needed judicial programs.

But then justices of the Supreme Couirt realized that there was plenty of money to support a constant flow of blow and hookers as needed. Not really, blow isn’t that attractive to Justices, and several of them, progressively, were women… but still a lot of money.

So there was a rather extravagant remodel of the magnificant space designed into the capitol building for the Supreme Court, along with a fleet of cars which Justices could take from Charleston to events. Like the Annual Cedar Lake Craft and Folklife 4th of July Celebration. Where you can buy West Virginia Folklore, for example. Frominlay the State of West Virginia, all 55 counties, into your Supreme Court Office Floor. a $0.39 hand-forged bracket to a $3000 piece of artwork by a well loved and popular local artist.

Or meet a woodworker that could inlay the State of West Virginia, all 55 counties, into your Supreme Court Office Floor. This was one charge against the Head Judge who had a superseding indictment for misuse of state cars, the inlaid floor, credit cards, taking valuable furniture home, you see where this goes?

One has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and other counts and resigned, and one is awaiting trial on the charges in that superseding indictment, which has more of similar cheap grifty $0.25 nickel and dime crimes all these guys committed. One of the Women Justices, Robin Davis, resigned from the bench before the House of Delegates of the legislature could complete the impeachment process. The three remaining justices were to be impeached today with the passage of IIRC 14 bills relating to the formal impeachment process.

Then the Senate will have to conduct trials of the remaining 3 justices on the charges in the Bills of Inpeachment. In the meantime, the Justice that Pleaded Guilty, and resigned will be sentenced in Federal Court while the Justice who just resigned (so far) may have a Federal Court trial on the charges related to her resignation. Did I mention that everyone got at least a few Grand Jury Indictments? So everyone is either resigning or being impeached, because of the loose and uncontrolled way credit cards and state-owned autos were used by everyone, the remodel from hell that led everyone to go overboard board on picture frames, office gold plated junk with platinum bearings. Now we’re making history.

Has a whole State Supreme Court ever been impeached or otherwise removed from office entire and unanimously at once in the history of the nation? It will be and is historic in any case.
